`hex.info`: `--repo` is an unknown option
NobbZ opened this issue · comments
In the company I am working for, we are currently still using a mini repo and can't easily change that and will have to carry that forward for while.
But as it reports weird version info on hex.outdated I wanted to inspect that using hex.info, though that command doesn't seem to understand the --repo option, so it wouldn't be usable with hex.registry either.
Is this an oversight or technical limitation?
It is missing functionality in minirepo. mix hex.info fetches data from the HTTP API, https://hex.pm/api. minirepo implements a very small subset of the API and it doesn't implement the /packages/:name endpoint which the task would use. If you implement the endpoint yourself, it should just work. Although you'd need to make sure the proper API url is being used, e.g.: HEX_API_URL=https://acme/hex/api mix hex.info. Check mix help hex.config for more information on configuration.
A mix hex.info --repo flag would probably be better UX but it would require rethinking HTTP API/Repo API distinction and there's no plans for that at the moment.
Let me know if you run into any issues!
